I feel the same way but they have a mission and they will build more infrastructure and it will get more use and abuse.

Same thing happened with the access to South Mountain SP and the access road to Stone Mt SP as well

Here was my response:

Less people, I feel that the increase of people in Wilson's creek over the past few years has led to the degradation of the "Wild and Scenic River Corridor". To the point that it does not feel "Wild and Scenic". With more people, comes more trash, and more destruction of wilderness areas. By installing more parking, you are inviting more people. And will make Wilson's Creek less "Wild and Scenic". Accommodating for more people will make it the "Wild and Partying Corridor", more so than it already is in the summer. The best thing you can do for Wilson's creek is make it less inviting.

This is pretty vague. Which probably means it's not good. This area already sees to much traffic.

A small drone flies into a damaged Fukushima nuclear reactor for the first time to study melted fuel

A drone small enough to fit in one's hand flew inside one of the damaged reactors at Japan's Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant Wednesday in hopes it can examine some of the molten fuel debris in areas where earlier robots failed to reach.

Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings also began releasing the fourth batch of the plant's treated and diluted radioactive wastewater into the sea Wednesday. The government and TEPCO, the plant's operator, say the water is safe and the process is being monitored by the International Atomic Energy Agency, but the discharges have faced strong opposition by fishing groups and a Chinese ban on Japanese seafood.

A magnitude 9.0 quake and tsunami in March 2011 destroyed the plant's power supply and cooling systems, causing three reactors to melt down. The government and TEPCO plan to remove the massive amount of fatally radioactive melted nuclear fuel that remains inside each reactor — a daunting decommissioning process that's been delayed for years and mired by technical hurdles and a lack of data.>>>

>>>TEPCO's goal is to remove a small amount of melted debris from the least-damaged No. 2 reactor as a test case by the end of March by using a giant robotic arm. It was forced to delay due to difficulty removing a deposit blocking its entry.
